GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert gave Capitol tour to large group before the riots, Democratic lawmaker says
January 19, 2021
Amid a push to investigate whether any GOP lawmakers aided rioters at the Capitol, several Democrats last week accused an unnamed House Republican of leading groups on reconnaissance tours of the building before the Jan. 6 attack.
Now, two Democratic lawmakers say they personally saw one Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado with a large group in a tunnel connected to the Capitol days before the attempted insurrection that left four rioters and one police officer dead.
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) said on Monday that he and Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.) had both seen Boebert in the tunnel outside the Cannon House Office Building with a group sometime in the three days before the riots. He said he didnt know who was in the group or if anyone with Boebert later participated in the attack.
Congressman [John] Yarmuth refreshed my recollection yesterday, Cohen told Jim Sciutto on CNN Newsroom. We saw Boebert taking a group of people for a tour sometime after the 3rd and before the 6th. Now whether these people were people that were involved in the insurrection or not, I do not know.

I read an article right after the riot that said she had given tours to militia fucks on 1/5.

If she was not yet a member of Congress then how does she know her way around the capital building?
